Electronic payments in Euros + anonymous
« on: 02 May 2023, 05:41:57 pm »
Hi everyone,

Complete newbie here, I've been thinking about getting into sex work for a while now and I feel like I'm ready to dip my toe. For context - I'm studying part time, building my own small business, and still have time and enthusiasm to work towards becoming an escort. I once had a kind of "paid girlfriend" role with a married guy when I was in my mid-20s, but that's the closest I've got. I'm thinking I'll start off trying to sell panties (I know, could be very slow or at a complete standstill, but I'll get some good pics out of it at the very least).

So - given that I'll (fingers and labia crossed) have an international client base for the panty selling, my question is;

Can anybody recommend a money transfer app that allows me to accept transfers from multiple countries, withdraw in Euros to my own account (I'm based in Belgium), and my real name will definitely not pop up for any clients? Thinking ahead I'd also like to be able to use this for deposits for future escort clients.

And if anyone has read my post and is thinking "hmmm I have some advice but she's not actually asked about this..." Also please tell me! I have no experience here and I'd appreciate any words of wisdom.

Dear Alice. 
In the current difficult period, it will be very difficult for you to start your new business. At the moment It is also difficult for the old escort who have been working for years and have a clientele .

But I wish you the best of luck.🤞

I also work in the UK and have worked in Switzerland.  Based on this, I can say that it is now much more difficult to do this work everywhere. In Switzerland, for example, last year I was still able to work as an independent attendant in rented apartments.(b.c*m and A*b*b)  But now, during the issuance of the permit, the police also examines whether the apartment has a permit or not, for escort work.  That's why I had two police checks in March.  Even though I did have work permission, they asked me to leave.

I absolutely do not recommend bank transfer. Due to the International Money Laundering Act, conditions have become extremely strict.  Your name will definitely appear during the transfer. 

And if the bank suspects that you are doing escort work, it will close your bank account without reason. In the past six months, the banks canceled 2 of my bank account contracts.

Hi Greta,

Thanks for your reply. Luckily, it's not illegal here in Belgium as of June 2022, so I can do it all above board. I'm planning to dip my toe slowly and fortunately don't need to be paying my bills with this, it'll be a way to supplement my income.

I know some US and UK cash transfer apps are anonymous, like CashApp for instance but I can't seem to find one here. To clarify - I'm not looking for a direct bank transfer from a client - but an intermediary app that I control that doesn't require the person paying to put my real name in. That I later withdraw to my bank account... Like PayPal (but definitely not PayPal!). I know they exist, just not sure what the Europe version is (if there is one yet!)

Thanks again, sorry to hear it's been such a nightmare for you with the banks  >:(

Will CashApp not allow you to open an account from Belgium? If so I'd go with them.

If not I ask clients to send deposits and payments for vids via Amazon gift voucher.

Be aware that although escorting may be legal in your country (as it is here in the UK) the banks still do not like to handle sex worker accounts - so it's best to bullshit them and say you are doing something different. I wouldn't suggest massage. Something that you can claim that you handle a lot of cash for. Mobile makeup artist? Counsellor? Whatever you think you can successfully bullshit about!

Thanks VC, lots of useful comments there  :)

Unfortunately CashApp is just US and UK at the moment.

From the reading I've done, the laws here protect the escort even more than in the UK as of fairly recently, but I'm absolutely sure you're right that the laws say one thing and the practice is another entirely. It's like that for every other law relating to our bodies...  :FF plus, who knows when laws could change again.

Great idea - I was a hairdresser for a while so I actually have the paperwork to reasonably bullshit that one if it's ever needed! Thanks again.
